The artistic duo 431art - Haike Rausch and Torsten Grosch show us how contemporary art can interact with society in this extensive photo book. Their conceptual works take the form of multimedia installations, interventions in public spaces, participatory art, as well as photographic works, light installations, performances and work in virtual spaces. The bilingual book brings their wide range of artistic creation from the past 14 years to life. 431art exhibits their long-term project botanoadopt and the plant hatches at international fairs. They have also received numerous grants and can be found in renowned public collections. The book is intended for art lovers and those interested in the changes of our society alike. Text contributions from Christoph Wilhelm Aigner (lyricist), Dr. Martin Doll (media expert), Dr. Ralph Fischer (cultural studies expert), Christian Kaufmann (art historian). "The imaginative creation of their projects between real and virtual visualizations makes 431art one of a kind." Dr. Stefan Soltek, Director of Klingspor Museum Offenbach
